I got laid off from a fairly well known company and it helped me to get another job, so he’s not entirely wrong. And I didn’t even get severance.

But were you laid off at the same time your company announced “low-performer layoffs?” That’s the real problem here. That claim could be grounds for a class-action slander/libel suit.

In my case it was the company that was poorly performing.

And I agree that they should talk to a lawyer about that. There are pretty strict rules about what you can say about someone who was fired and I’m pretty sure that breaks them.

Not in the Trump administration, anything goes now! As long as you're a business with money
